The old man listened to Xiao Yiran's question, he didn't even think about it, and immediately shook his head and said:

"In our small Dongshan Village, there are more than 50 families in total, both adults and children, and none of them are named Wang Chunxia, let alone outsiders."

Xiao Yiran was a little puzzled, thinking that Master Yuantong would never be wrong, since he was not in this Dongshan Village, it would be difficult for him to be under this Dongshan Mountain, and there were other villages that could not be successful. Just as he was about to ask, he heard the old man hesitantly say:

"Last year, probably at this time, I seemed to have heard someone say that there was a young businessman who was a layman who fell ill on the road and was later rescued by a kind person. As for who rescued them and where they went, I don't know. ”

After listening to the old man's words, although Xiao Yiran was not sure that the young businessman who was rescued was Wang Chunxia, he still paid attention. Early the next morning, he didn't rush to the road, but asked Li Ming to drive and beat around Dongshan. After several twists and turns, he came to a village called Xiangyang, and saw several old people basking in the sun under the wall of the rising sun at the entrance of the village, so Xiao Yiran stepped forward to inquire.

"Grandpa, did you come to the village last year and thought you were a young foreign merchant?"

"Child, are you asking Wang Chunxia?"

"Yes, grandpa, is the other one still there?"

Xiao Yiran finally heard Wang Chunxia's name, and thought that he couldn't be wrong this time.

"They're here."

"Grandpa, can you tell me about Wang Chunxia?"

"What is the relationship between you and Wang Chunxia?"

"Oh, that's right. He and I were fellow villagers, and because Wang Chunxia had been out on business for three years and had not heard from him, his family asked someone to inquire around. Two days ago, when we were passing by Dongshan Village, we occasionally heard an old man mention that at this time last year, a young businessman was sick and was rescued, so I wanted to ask if it was Wang Chunxia. ”

"Listening to your accent, it doesn't seem to be from Yan'an Mansion."

"Grandpa, my parents are from Yan'an Mansion, but I was born in Yanshan Mansion, so I don't speak my hometown."

"That's it. That Wang Chunxia is a good offspring. Last year, it was about this time, the weather was very cold that day, and I went to the east mountain with Lao Wang Tou to chop firewood, and when we came back, we happened to meet Wang Chunxia who fell ill on the side of the road. Coincidentally, when we arrived, the old Qin head of the village was already there. I saw that Hou Sheng was lying on the side of the road, his face was red, he was already unconscious, and his breath was weak. At that time, the three of us discussed, because Lao Zhang Wangtou and I had a large family, so we did not have the ability to rescue the seriously ill descendant, but the old Qintou's family was quite solid, so the old Qintou carried the descendant home. It took almost two months to ask for medical medicine to save the child. ”

"Grandpa, what happened later?"

"When I was rescued, it was almost the end of the year. Hou Sheng said that he was from Yan'an Mansion and wanted to go home in a hurry. At that time, Housheng's body was still very weak, and the weather was cold, so everyone advised him to leave after the New Year. The later life listened to the persuasion of the people, so he stayed. ”

"And now?"

"When Housheng was sick, the little daughter-in-law of the Qin family has been serving her meticulously. Housheng was grateful to her, not only returned the money for medical medicine to Old Man Qin, but also bought some jewelry for the little daughter-in-law of the Qin family. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yiran felt that something was wrong. In this era, it is important to pay attention to whether men and women are intimate or not, why would the Qin family let their daughter-in-law take care of a young offspring from a foreign country?

"Grandpa, what about the youngest son of the Qin family?"

"Hehe, the youngest son of the Qin family, died of illness less than two months after his daughter-in-law passed the door, and the younger daughter-in-law was widowed. Otherwise, how could she wait for the afterlife of the disease. ”

Sure enough, Xiao Yiran continued to ask:

"Later, grandpa, why hasn't Wang Chunxia left until now?"

"The Qin family is diligent and diligent when he sees it, and he is a man with a duty and a brain. In addition, judging from the interaction between the latter and the little daughter-in-law, after a few months of getting along, the two had mutual interest, so the old man Qin asked me and the old king to ask the younger life. ”

"What did he say?"

"We asked the offspring, who else is in the family, is it married? Housheng said that there were only parents in the family and they were not married. So, Lao Wang and I told the meaning of the Qin family. Hou Sheng agreed to come down at that time, agreed to join the Qin family, and married the widowed daughter-in-law. ”

Xiao Yiran listened to it in his heart, and secretly thought that Zheng Xinxin was not worth it. A person who served the second elder of the Wang family at home, and sent them to the end, he really couldn't live anymore, so he ran thousands of miles to find a husband, not wanting to meet bad people on the road, and he was tragically defiled and committed suicide. However, her husband is looking for a new love outside, so that he forgets his father and mother, forgets his wife, and is happy.

"May I ask grandpa, how is the Qin family going?"

"Old Qintou lives in the middle of the village, the first one north of the crossroads. However, the descendants are no longer in the village. ”

"Where did he go?"

"In the spring of this year, Wang Chunxia completely recovered and took his daughter-in-law to Shuozhou to do business. He said he wouldn't be back until the end of the year. It's mid-October, and it's time to be back soon. ”

Xiao Yiran thought about it in his heart, since Wang Chunxia was not in the village, it was pointless to go to Qin's house to ask again. It's better to go north to find this Wang Chunxia, who abandoned his father and mother and didn't think about his wife, and asked him if he was still human. After thinking about it in his heart, he thanked the old man just now, said goodbye and came to the outside of the village, and instructed Li Ming:

"Go back the same way, cross the river and then go back to Shuozhou, I want to meet that Wang Chunxia."

Li Ming and Qingwen Musk Yue didn't know what to do, they didn't know who Wang Chunxia was and why the young lady was so concerned. However, he still obeyed Xiao Yiran's instructions and turned around and went back. When I came to the small town again, I learned that if I wanted to go from Shuozhou to Dadongshan on the other side of the river, I could only go from Xiaoshi to this ferry. Other than that, there are no other ferries within fifty miles of the upper and lower levels. Xiao Yiran wanted to stay, so he waited for Wang Chunxia in the small city.

came to the "Wanghe" inn where he had lived and stayed, Xiao Yiran sent Li Mingdu to the ferry every day to inquire if there was Wang Chunxia.

The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the eighth day of November. That morning, Li Ming, who had just gone out to inquire about Wang Chunxia at the ferry, hurried back to the inn.

"Miss, there is a man named Wang Chunxia, leading a little lady and is about to cross the river."

"You didn't stop him?"

"Stopped. I told him that there was a young man from Yan'an Mansion who wanted to see him. ”

"What did he say?"

When he heard that he was from Yan'an Mansion, his eyes rolled, but he still agreed. Ask me where Xiao Gongzi is, and I say in the inn. And he came, and he was outside. ”

Xiao Yiran heard that Wang Chunxia was outside, so he asked Li Ming and Qingwen Musk Yue to go out first, closed the door by himself, took out the bag given by Master Yuantong, and let Zheng Xinxin's soul come out. Since coming here and accidentally learning the word "Dongshan", Xiao Yiran did not immediately tell Zheng Xinxin's soul. Xiao Yiran always wanted to wait until she had an eyebrow and found Wang Chunxia, and then sue her.
